Funny development, reported by local tv station L1.nl: The Province of Limburg had given them already 211.000 Euro from the 235.000 Euro that was promised. From the 211.000 Euro already given, 65.000 Euro was meant "for the creation of jobs". Because this promise was not kept, the Province...

Unfortunately, this incorporation has a price tag: Jetairfly had to write off a one-time 29.147.305 Euro in their books for Jet4you.

This pushed the result for 2012 into red (-15,5 mio), but owns assets still are a solid +10,3 mio.

Turnover 2012 was 411 mio.

Allow me to disagree with initial statement by the president and the CEO in Trends/Tendances/Knack which is mentioned in the first post in this topic. Both gentlemen announced “bankruptcy if the Belgian government wouldn’t urgently invest”. This is not true. I’ve checked their annual account 2011 (b...

Not an "abnormality", although there could be "an abnormal quantity of soccer fans" at the departure hall, so after all it's on topic: on Thursday 23th May at 10h25, the Red Devils take SN 501 to JFK, for a week of training and matches. They're flying C off course, and what's spe...

As for all these day dreams, SN cannot even efficiently fly it's current schedule at the moment .... Let alone expand left, right and center.

Wasn't that what I said a long time ago? The BAe146 engines are not suited for hot & high operations as they are too heat-sensitive. Quote from the article: "...Nous avons démarré notre activité avec 1 avion Boeing 737-300 et 2 British Aerospace 146 qui ont depuis été retournés à leur prop...

Don't worry... Allow me to quote myself again: One MP said this yesterday: "...Ik wil erop wijzen dat het Europees Parlement op 18 april 2013 een nieuwe verordening heeft goedgekeurd waardoor men in de grote luchthavens met meer dan 15.000 passagiers per jaar van twee naar drie bagageafhandelaa...
